85 Ironman seat post
New member here posting on my recently acquired Centurion. This is a 1985, and I will be posting pics soon. My understanding is that I need 10 posts before I have picture privileges. Perhaps if pics wanted soon, I could email to someone. Serial number is KE511628. At first I thought it was KF, but close inspection looks like a light strike and therefore KE.
My seat post is definitely a Sugino fluted 27mm. Data base shows this on the 86, just as do the DiaCompe AGC aero brake levers that are on it. Just wondering if some new parts could have got phased in on the 85 bike or an unfinished bike was completed in a new year.
Both of these components have patina that would match the rest of the bike. I would agree that the Aero levers might have had a reason to be replaced on this bike, as it also came to me with some aero bars for a racing riding position. I can't however see any reason why someone would switch out the seat post to the next year. It just seems curious.
